Sexy Farrell in film project with Hayek

Colin Farrell has just sneaked in at No 10 in the recently-published Sexiest Man Alive poll for 2003.

He was beaten by table-topping Johnny Depp and such glittering hunks as George Clooney, Hugh Grant, Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington … but, hey, 10's not bad.

Meanwhile, the sexy Dubliner is being joined by Salma Hayek in director Robert Townes' upcoming Ask the Dust.

The film is based on John Fante's Depression Era novel in which he will play a first-generation Italian longing for a career as a writer.
